HR told me we need to allow people to take extra breaks right now because of the excessive heat…I told her we have air conditioning. “Well, we need to be careful.” I just stared at her.
The younger generation didn’t grow up walking to school uphill both ways and in the snow***
I would say its either one of two things:
I've been to three in the last two weeks that closed at noon or so due to heat. Called a shop today to see about some work and they said the same.
I work in a shop that doesn’t have A/C and where I work in the shop doesn’t have any airflow. It has been a couple days that I thought about dragging up because it so hot
I think it’s a 100% not debated fact that temps are up…. Now certainly debatable on what is causing it.
If you expect people to sit in a truck with no air, then you are the problem.
I was mainly joking with you…. I have not encountered this but other than an oil change a few days ago, I have not had a need to visit this type of business.
It's actually really hard to win even a merited lawsuit these days, and next to impossible to win one without merit. Workmans comp is probably a bigger threat for this than lawsuits. And their insurers.
They’re going to put a lot of shops out of business with thise rules. I’ve seen it with the company that replaced my water heater in the summer a few years ago. They only worked in the attic in the morning. Which makes perfect sense. But 80 degrees in a tire shop? That’s ridiculous. Back in the day we were all acclimated ti the heat. Even now, I get out several days a week and get some activity to keep somewhat acclimated. Today was just a 2-mile walk, but some days I play tennis or run. If you’re not acclimated, it is dangerous.
What do you require to believe that the average temperature has increased?
Where is this?
I will say that these new trucks and even tractors are a miserable experience if the AC isn’t working. They aren’t designed to create airflow without the AC running and they have tons of window surface that’s like a greenhouse.
That would basically shut everything south of Minnesota down for the summer.
I'm also concerned about the number of people of all ages that will miss a check or few days pay.
But you keep rolling along. It's hot but it's always hot in the summer. I still drink out the damn water hose sometimes. But I love it!
There is nothing worse than a rain shower that doesn’t rain you out and it’s hot. Instant sauna.I worked 5 summers in construction in Mississippi. The worst was when it rained, but not long enough to rain us out. When the sun came out.....it was hot. It was especially bad when we had the slab in but didn't have a roof up yet. It did confirm my ambition to go into a field that allowed me to work Inside in the AC.
Your mom is still taking business. But the shops I'm talking about I know a couple of those and called or visited the others. Your drunk *** can't handle it, so step out.
If someone is working and doesn't have pto/vacation benefits, are you really expecting them to never go on a vacation and experience a trip or relax and recharge?
I won't lie, I love bush hogging and cutting grass. Got three tractors (one cabbed for hay cutting) and prefer no cab unless it's raining some. I know you're out there more than me, so props.
Brand new combine we got last year was delivered with a faulty air conditioner and the dang compressor was faulty.. You couldn't stand it more than 10ish minutes inside the cab trying to cut corn. Temps were approaching 125 with the door open.
No, this are folks who earn plenty of leave and blow it foolishly (sick and regular). They'll be in the hole, then scheduled a week in 30A.
We got some tractors that we had ordered at the beginning of Covid that ended up being made while Case workers were on strike. That was an epic mistake. There was so much stuff wrong with them. Hoses and wires not routed right and rubbing against each other causes all kinds of issues. It’s been a mess.
Case 2590 was the only one in the old days you could get away with that ****. You just rip off the doors. Even the old Deere models in the late 70s/80s you couldn’t do that with. Too much “glass” as you say. The 2590 was the last great open air roof tractor made.
